Obviously this has been a cold winter for we Austinites. My propane bill in my new house has been shockingly high. So, I did a little noodling to see just how true that is.
I found the requisite data here http://www.wunderground.com/
I chose to look at the average temperatures for Dec, Jan and Feb of last winter and this one. I found that the average temperature for last winter (08/09) was 56 degrees. And the average temperature for this Dec,Jan,Feb was 48 degrees.
